Yes, I mean meals, sauces, and desserts! These are also perfect for a backyard get-together with your friends. So, if you are looking for some great ideas to do with beer, then look no further because I have here 30 amazing beer recipes you will definitely enjoy!
30. Beer-Braised Carnitas
The succulent pulled pork achieves a deeper level of taste complexity with the sugary, smoky, and rich undertones of citrus fruits, beer, and assorted seasonings.
Beer-stewed carnitas offer the ideal filling for items like tacos, burritos, and nachos, or even salads. Alternatively, you can simply indulge in it standalone with a simple utensil like a fork.
29. Beer Cheese Fondue
I’ve whipped up a considerable number of tacos in my time, yet none rival the succulent filling that’s been slow-cooked to perfection. These stand as the premier pork tacos we’ve ever relished—and we’ve sampled a fair share. If time allows, crafting the mango salsa from ground up is absolutely worth it! Delicious indeed.

27. Wisconsin Beer Brats
In the Midwest, any backyard grilling or tailgate gatherings are considered incomplete without these cherished Wisconsin beer-infused bratwursts.
It’s easy to see why.
The bratwursts undergo a beer cooking process before they make their way to the grill, lending them additional moisture and enhancing their taste.
When garnished with beer-cooked caramelized onions, the savory and smoky attributes of the brats are offset by a delightful, sweet counterbalance.
26. Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup
It’s the traditional beer cheese soup, but with a delightful autumnal spin.
The cheese soup naturally exhibits a radiant golden color. Incorporating pumpkin amplifies its vividness, thereby increasing its appeal.
Above all, it’s exceptionally scrumptious. The sweetness stemming from the pumpkin combined with the hearty flavor of beer and cheese leads to a delectable, comfort-inducing concoction.

I don’t eat pork, unless it’s in an egg roll or as bacon. I never in my life cooked pork for dinner, and I will never order a pork chop at a restaurant.

9. Ginger Beer Margaritas
Who could’ve thought that ginger beer could add such a fascinating touch to a margarita, and now, I can’t relish one without it!
Ginger beer lends a sparkling note that flawlessly complements the sweetness and citrusy character of margaritas.
This variant recommends ditching the mix and employing lime and simple syrup for an ultra-refreshing flavor.

If you’re a mule aficionado who prefers gin, the foghorn cocktail will certainly capture your heart.
Birthed in New York City, the foghorn is a refreshing, fragrant cocktail using gin as the base spirit.
This particular recipe suggests either Old Tom or London dry gin.
Combine either of these with ginger beer and lime juice, and you’ve concocted an impeccable drink that gin enthusiasts will absolutely cherish.
5. Irish Mule Made with Beer
An Irish mule is an exceptional twist on the classic Moscow mule, where vodka is substituted with Irish whiskey.
Here, “whiskey” refers to the Irish variant and not the Scotch “whisky”. The “e” is what sets the two apart.
This concoction uses Jameson, which pairs wonderfully with a zesty ginger beer.
4. Blueberry Buck Whiskey Cocktail
The buck is defined by its blend of a spirit, ginger beer, and citrus. This variant excels by incorporating fresh blueberries and blueberry juice.

This could serve as an incredible summer cocktail to enjoy by the campfire in good company.
3. Dark and Stormy
If you’re seeking a straightforward cocktail recipe, this is an excellent starting point.
A dark and stormy is akin to a Moscow mule, except it utilizes dark rum.
Dark rum, rather than light, is preferred for its stronger flavor that complements the full-bodied ginger beer excellently.
Serve this cocktail in a copper mug or glass, garnishing with a lime wedge. And yes, it tastes as splendid as it appears!

The Pimm’s cup acts as an introductory craft cocktail that leaves you wanting more.

A Moscow mule is a fizzy vodka-centric drink that features ginger beer and fresh lime.
The spicy ginger delivers a mule-like kick, while lime and mint round off the taste.
This recipe endorses the use of Tito’s vodka for its crisp and subtly sweet flavor.
You might want to acquire some copper mugs, as this is merely the beginning of many more mules to come.
